Oh my god, honestly, RWBY for the win. More importantly though, I really both like and dislike the character concept. Let me explain. The idea of a character that has both been/is a Guardian, a Vex Mind, and partially (?) Taken is cool. But just at the same time it feels...for a lack of better words, and I apologize, but...stupid. I’m physically incapable of articulating this correctly, but here’s my analogy. Have you ever looked up or come across an OC for some fandom, where the OC is trying to do too much? Like, the character in question has all the powers of all of the good guys and all of the bad guys and everything, or some special power that has no explanation or doesn’t make sense within the universe? I know I have, and this is what this comes it comes off as to me, just in a much less extreme way. It’s cool to be a Taken and a Guardian and a Vex Mind, but it feels like the character is trying to do and be too much at once. And I know this is nitpicking and you don’t intend for this character to be your ultimate creation, but that comes off in the character's backstory as well. A Guardian...who happened to be fully Vexified (which is plausible, though we’ve never seen anything beyond Asher's arm and perhaps Kabr drinking the radiolaria from the Oracles in the VoG, so we don’t know exactly how that works), which the process also happened to render a Vex Mind yet still has remnants of his Light, and is [i]then[/i] partially but not completely Taken by Oryx, gaining Taken powers alongside the Vex and Guardian Ones. It’s too convoluted, and it’s too coincidental that all of these things would happen to the character and that they would retain all of those things. Then there’s also the lore logic behind it, like what are the ramifications of a Vex Mind having access to Light? Would the conversion process allow Guardians to keep their Light? Or their original personality and not belong to the Vex Collective, or later, follow the will of Oryx? How can the Light still exist in them if they were Taken? How can they be all of these things simultaneously?

  • <It's not really Taken. I tried to make a different type of corruption. It isn't connected to the Collective because of its access/corruption to/of Light and Darkness. It was supposed to be a kind of... mystery. How did this happen? How can this happen? What happened? It was never meant to be explained. In the original version of this post, I was going to bring up Captain Jacobson as a reference. He's a human mind copied and put into a Vex body. It was going to be similar here... but things get a little -blam!-ed. But in reality, there's kind of a reason for all of these things that I never mentioned in the post... This character was going to be the main character of a 10 part fan-fiction I was going to make -blam!-ing ages ago. I never wrote the -blam!-ing thing down, but I had ideas for every part. Does that kinda explain why I did it? Trying to fit it into this timeline would seem off, and it is, and I apologize.> [spoiler]<I never really got to watching RWBY until a couple months ago. I got through every volume and it was pretty good. For some reason, even though she's a complete and total bitch, Cinder's my favorite character.>[/spoiler]
